If there has been one redeeming part of this whole disastrous season, it has been that the Royals have thoroughly throttled the Pale Hoes. Today, it was Eric Hosmer reemerging from these dark years for which he has been absent to guide KC to glory.

Early on, it seemed as though we fans were going to get treated to a The Godfather, Part III follow-up to last night's equivalent to The Godfather, Part II. It didn't end up being that bad, but today's game certainly wasn't a good one.

With a chance to sweep the Twins for the first time in ages, the Royals blew a 3 - 1 lead in the bottom of the 8th, allowing runs in the 8th, 9th, and 10th innings, blowing a save, "earning" an ejection, injuring a Lorenzo, and finally losing the gam

Royals, Holland Barely Hold 10th-inning Lead, Take Game, Series from Pale Hoes: Guthrie sterling in no-decision.

Well, it's going to be an uphill climb for the Royals to make the playoffs now. Though the Royals took the Rangers to extra innings, the Rangers slew of perennial MVP candidates took care of business.

After seeing the ineffable Yu Darvish throw a flawless game to the first 17 Royals who came to the plate, the Royals feigned fire in the belly and staged a pseudo-comeback only to come up predictably short against the vastly superior Rangers.

After a Saturday that saw the Royals add further horror to their putrid resume against last place teams, the Royals avoided the three-game sweep at home to the last place Twins this afternoon,...

What really matters is the sweep, and the Royals rang in the sweep with style with each player on the 25-man roster mounting his broom and flying around the stadium cackling incessantly while taunting the weeping Tigers. All is right in the world.

Royals Lose to Pawston Red Sox 5 - 1, Drop Series 3 - 1. This is not a team that appears to be close to anything other than the tripe that fans have been subjected to since The Strike. Drink up, kids. It can always get worse, and it usually does.

I fell asleep late in the game this afternoon. It was sometime around the sixth inning. After Alcides Escobar's first error but before his second error. While aslumber, I drifted in and out of...

Four innings in Leningrad. That is the amount of times that it took the Royals to expose the pyritic hope that a three-game sweep of the Pale Hoes had rekindled over the weekend for what it was.

While it won't show up in the Win-Loss column, Jeremy Guthrie* was the Royals' player of the game today as the Royals completed a three-game sweep of the ChiSox. *And A.J. Pierzynski's sterling defense.

Hochevar was surprisingly effective. Granted, he gave up two dongs, but they weren't of the soul-crushing, eight-run variety he usually gives up. When Hochevar is the highlighted player of the game, that doesn't tend to bode well for the Royals.

Well, it was a big day for Greek baseball at Camden Yards with both Mike Moustakas and Nick Markakis hanging majestic Grecian dong. That's about all that happened, though. From a Royals fan's perspective, this game complete bore. Bruce Chen and Tomm

Tonight's game was one of those rare games that Royals fans never really needed to worry about anything. Batting first on the road, Alex Gordon led the game off with a home run. Three at-bats and two base-runners later, Billy Butler hanged some don

If there was one thing made clear in Chicago tonight, it was that the culture of losing and failure is dead and buried in the Kansas City Royals clubhouse. I think I speak for all of us here at Royals Review when I say, "Phew."
